Thomas Jefferson married Mrs. Martha Skelton, a childless widow, but sho bro’t him a largo fortune in real estate. After the ceremony slio mounted tho horse be hind him, and they rode homo together.— It was late in tho evening, and tlioy found tho firo out. But the great statesman bus tled around and rebuilt It, while sho seiz ed tho broom nnd soon put things in order. Itis needless to say that they wero happy, though Jefferson (lied a poor man on ac count of his extreme liberality nnd hospi tality. Benjamin Franklin married the girl who stood in hor father’s door and laughed nt him ns lie wandered through the streets of Philadelphia, with rolls of bread under his arms, nnd his pockets filled with dirty clothes. Sho had occasion to he happy when she found herself the wife of such a great olid good man. It is not generally known that Andrew Jackson married a lady whoso husband wns still living. She wns an uneducated but nminblo woman, and w-ns most devo tedly attached to tho old warrior and Btntosmftn. John C. Calhoun married his cofisin, nnd their children fortunately were neith er diseased nor idiotic, but they do not ovinco tho talent of the great “States’ Bights” advocate. „ , Edwin Lytton Bulwcr, the English statesman nnd novelist, married a girl much his Inferior in position, nnd got n shrew for his wife. She is now Insane. Gen. Sam Houston lived happily with a squaw wife, while Gen. Ben. Butler wns divorced from an accomplished lady. Edwin Forrest, tho great tragedian, married a beautiful actress, from whom ho wns divorced. Gen. Fremont married the daughter of Thomas II. Benton, agninst the latter’s wish, which obliged him to clopo with her on a stormy night. The union proved a happy ono in spite of the squally begin ning. Horace Greely married a school mis tress, whose beauty wns questionable, hut whoso sense and goodness satisfied ono of the greatest men of his time. Gen. Sherman married tho daughter of Thomas Ewing, of Ohio, who wns a mem ber of Gen. Taylor’s Cabinet. This alone would liavo been a good start for any young man. Jcllcrson Davis, for his first wife, won tho hand of Zaclmry Taylor’s daughter: and Gen. Grant married a Miss Dent, of St. Louis. She apparently lias moro sense than show, nnd is therefore fit for a Presi dent’s wife. old lady, though quite cheerful, was too feeble to sit up during tho day, and ono of the t octions wns arranged for her to lounge upon till bed-lime, nnd hor children were unwenry in their attentions, watching her with such tender, thoughtful care as to at tract tho attention of those about them.— In tho evening, before they retired, tho young people sang a beautiful hymn in an undertone, while tho old lady sat looking out dreamily into the purple twilight with an expression Which seemed to tell of yenrn- ingsfor the spirit world, which was so soon to bo her homo. At bed-time slio was plac- cdawaynicelyina section all to herself, be ing visited from time to time hy herdnugh- tcr, to whoso tender inquiries sho replied Hint she thought sho should pnss the night ns comfortably ns though she wero in her own room nt home. The last tiino that iter daughter spoke to her was at 2 o’clock in the morning. When she went over nt 4 o’clock again, tlio spirit of tho mother had passed awny to tlio better land, appa rently without a pain or struggle. It was a strange scene, thntof tho bustling, talk- ingcrowdofearly risers,crowdingthought- lessly about ono end of tlio car, getting ready to disembark, contrasted with the other, whero the corpse wns laid out in the corner section, with tho children kneel ing and weeping at tho bed-side, nnd re fusing to ho comforted. The old indy wasagnvTnl favorite in the village whence she came, nnd was escorted to tho cars by quite a number of friends nnd acquaintan ces, to whom sho said, nt parting: “Tell them all, if I slip away on this journey, that I was ready nud willing to go."

IIo wns also succcssftil in findingskolctons of many of his men nnd the remains of sov- crnl of their boats. Skeletons nnd othor relics were found at King William’s Land. Tito Cornelia brought an anchor, found nt tho oxtremo north, marked E. 8., 1770, which is supposed to liavo bolbngcd to tlio first explorers. Dr. Hall found a nnllvo who claims to know all nbout tlio party. Ho says tlio ship wns stove, and tho crow took to their boats and wentnshore, where their provisions wero exhausted and tlioy died from starvation. Ieo Mid snow pre vented Dr. Hall from making full explora tions. Ho will return next Bummer nnd Anther prosecute thesenreh. The AiihcU Gibbs will arrive in a day or two. Tlio titty or Ifnvnnn. It is stated that tho city of Havana, bo- foro tho revolt of Yarn, claimed 250,000 in habitants. Thcro are now, nt tho very outside figure, no moro than 80,000 peopio there. Thousands of Spanish merchants nndtrndcrshnvofledtoSpaln. Thousands of wealthy Cubans have gone to Now Y orb, Now Orlcnns, Baltimore, Mexico nnd Eu rope, while very many thousands of Cu bans, have drifted into tlio interior to Join tlio Cuban army.

In tlio Faliranagnt district, in the south eastern pnrt of tho Stato of Nevada, dis tant from Austin perhaps 180 miles, is a remarkable mountain of salt about 70 miles south of tlio mines. It is reported to bo nbout fivo miles in length and 000 foot in height. Tlio body of salt is of unknown depth. It is chemically pure nnd crys talline, and does not deliquesce on expos ure to atmosphere. Like rock, it requires blasting from tho time, whence it is taken in large blocks, and it is ns transparent ns glnss. Tlio Adkins Mystery. The Atlanta Constitution says, notwith standing tho fact that tho military liavo been so long in Warren county, nnd liavo been very vigilant, it appeare that no ar rests have been made. Tlio family of the deceased claim lo know tho perpetrator, nnd yet no effort lias been mndc to bring him to punishment. Tlio public aro anx ious to know whether tho whole movement was not gotten up to gratify tho revenge of a miscreant orior party purposes, or that siicnco is maintained because the murderer is not n Democrat! A gentleman from Warren coWty informed us yester day, that tho current beli’efin tliak coupty was, that lie wns killed by an interested party, ns ills lifo wns^insured for.S10,000, it seems passing strange that after all the efforts made to discover tlio slayer of Ad kins, nothing should be elicited. A Handsome Itequost for tlio Koutk. Tho following is tlio codicil of tho will of the into Caleb Dorsey, Esq., of Howard county, Md., making a ehnritqble bequest for the benefit of Southern people. Tlio codicil hoars date August Id, 1860: “I givoaudbequeath 830,000 to my broth er, Reuben M. Dorsey, and Governor T. W. Llgon, in specinl trust, to apply tlio samo to the relief or sucli portions of tho lcoplo of tho late slave-holding States of ■he Union ns tlio Baid trustees may think must roquiro assistance on account of their suffering and want, and the said sum of iuolicy shall bo applied in such manner ns they may deem best to accomplish my pnr- pose. "If my personal estate should not prove sufficient to pay nil legacies, Including this of 880,000, I direct that so much shall bo deducted from tho 810,000 given by tho codicil dated August 10,1800,ns may be nec essary to make up this legacy for the ben efit of tho people of the South. B'hci» tho D(*inocrnry Ruled tho Na* tlon. In a lending editorial, the Cincinnati Gazette, tells this truth: “The Democratic party enjoyed a su premacy in this country for many years.” Well would it have been for tho country nnd its people had this rule continued. During the many years of Democratic supremacy, there wns no vast National Debt, to cat out tho substance of tho peo ple. No government tax gathorers were to he seen—no stamp act was in force-—no tax on all the poor man cats, wears and con sumes. No States wero out in tho cold, n nd denied their constitutional rights with in the Union. No standing army wns retained at a vast expense, to enforce negro suffrage on an unwilling people. The President of tho United States re ceived no presents, as a means of securing office to donors. Government vessels were then used for legitimate purposes, and not to carry tho President and his friends to watering pla ces at the cost of tho taxpayers. Talent then ruled the nation. Honesty in public officers wns tho rulo then and not the exception. Tho country was respected abroad, bo- causo it asked nothing that was not clear ly right, and it submitted to nothing wrong. —Statesman. Fun nt Homo.

O11 Saturday evening the child, which wnB five-years old, acted “rather dumpish,” (to uso the expression of its parents,) nnd tlio father therefore procured somo whisky nnd Administered a small quantity to tlio child, thinking that tho liquor would nrouso ills spirits. Soon afterward tho child began to vomit, hut no particular attention wns paid to this by its parents, and inter in tlio night tho littlo follow was seized with convulsions. Then a physi cian was summoned, who found that the child could not siirvlvo many hours, as its nervous system, lungs nnd brain were paralyzed from tho effects of tho liquor. A Gooil-NIfflit Hiss.

Tlio memory of tills in tlio stormy years which may bo in store for the little one, will Ixs the Bethlehem’s star to the bewildered Shephard, and swell ing up in tlio heart, will rise tho thought “My mdthor nnd father loved me!” Lips parched with fever will bccomo dewy nt tills thrill of youthful memories. Kiss your littlo child before it goes to sleep, Tho Income Tax. It is stated that tho commissioner of internal l-ovenuo lias prepared a circular of instructions, to ho sent to tho deputy assessors of each district, in rcfercnco to (lie assessment, of tho income tax. A thorough rc-canvas8 of each division is to be made after October 1st. Every houso must be visited, and tho names of tho in mates obtained. Persons who liavo no income to bo taxed must make an affida vit of that fact, nud tlioso who imvo made no return nro to be summoned to appear at tho offico of tho assessor, and in easo of failure to respond aro subject to a penalty. The duty of energetic action is impressed upon tlio assessors. Wants an Editor. A Miss Lucy advertises in a Mississippi paper that slio “is of good birth and cdu ention, and is willing to marry an editor, behoving herself able to support one."

AVo have before us, says the Atlanta In telligencer of tho 10th, a specimen of slnlo taken from a - quarry on tlio Coosawnlllo Blvcr, seven miles nbovo Bcsaca on tlio AVcstcm & Atlautlo Bnllrond. Tlio quar ry is located on tho farm of Chief Justlco Brown, which lies directly on the river, a navigable stream for steamboats from it lo Rcsncca, having boon used as such pre vious to tho war. Tho slnto is of very su perior quality, nnd whon qunrried can ho laid on n flat or other boat and carried di rectly to Besaca, (which is on tho bank of tlio river,) in a run ofless than three hours, Tho bank of tlio river for nearly a half milo, Is, wo learn, a bluff of solid slnto rock, in places twenty-fivo foot high, and extending downwards to an indefinite depth. Tho quarry runs bnck through Governor Brown’s land over hnlf a mile. Tho whole su!)stra(a,aftcr going down throo or four feet, is a solid rnasB of slate. Tho quantity is so abundant ns to bo inexhaus tible for generations, and its quality, ns wo havo before observed, is tho very best. It is entirely freo ft-om grit, is soft, and spills finely. It is as lino ns tho best used in school rooms, or for roofing purposes, and enough of it to roof every houso in Geor gia. No other slnto quarry that has been discovered in tlio Stato, wo nre informed :an bo compared witli it, in ndvnntngo of location and convenience of transporta tion. Tho specimen on our tahlo was tn ken from near tlio water, where tho river runs over it all the winter, and thoatinos phoro acting on it during tho summer, it is not ns perfecl, superior as it is, ns if ta ken from tlio quarry where it is not so ox- posed. _ ■ • Anjrcl vs. Devil A gentleman made ids wifu a present of n drinking cup, witli an angel at tho bot tom, and ho asked her why slio drank ov ery drop. “Because, ducky,” slio said, "1 long to see the dear littlo angel.” Up on which lie had tlio angel taken out, nnd a devil engraved at tlio bottom, nnd sho drank it offjusttho snmo; and I10 again asked her tho reason. "AVhy,” replied his wife, “liecftuso I won’t leavo tho old dovil a drop." Warning to Pretty Clinrcli-Uacrs.

The idlo man is an annoynnco—a nui- sanco. Ho is nn intruder In* tho busy thoroughfare of ovory day life. Ho stands in our path nnd wo must push hint con temptuously aside.
